tell me what you really see every time you look at me because i am beginning to wonder what i ever meant to you. please don't make me that girl... please don't make me the girl that everyone knows that you didn't really love. please don't make me see that you never really loved me. tell me why you said those things. tell me why i gave you everything i've got. tell me why you walked out and told me to wait for you and while i waited you moved on. tell me why you do these things to me because i am beginning to lose to a broken heart. i'm beginning to wonder and i'm falling apart.
